Anecdotal counterpoint: there used to be a r/shoplifting sub. Sure, anyone can lie on the internet, but the advice given there was “do not shoplift from Target; you will get caught, and you will suffer.”
- aesh2Xa1 3y agoIs your counterpoint the below? Is it claiming that Target's practices don't or shouldn't work? "All individuals should know to use /r/shoplifting and are therefore impervious to Target's case-building trap."
- sgarland 3y agoNo, my counterpoint is that Target’s strategy seems to have worked, and also that there exists the possibility that someone would opt to not shoplift at all due to the harsher penalties set by Target, and being unsure how widespread that practice is. To be clear, I think the actual problem with shoplifting is systemic suppressed wages coupled with inflation and arbitrary price hikes by corporations.
- aesh2Xa1 3y agoYou're saying that people should be aware of Target's practices, which is why it works?
